When it comes to the brand 3.1 Phillips, then I am inspired by the co-founder Wen Zhou. In her childhood, she came from a town that had no plumbing and no heat. She once said in TIMES: ‘The thing I remember from childhood is the soothing sound of my mother’s sewing machine putting me to sleep. It’s nostalgic to me. I wanted to do better’.

3.1 Phillips Lim is a young brand, just like the Proenza Schouler, but they are doing very well. And like very designer brand, they also have their own classic accessories that shine above the rest, one of them is the 31 Minute Bag. And the second is what we belief, the Wednesday Boston Satchel.

You see, this bag was also spotted in the Spring Summer 2013 Collection, the Wednesday Boston was crafted in white and natural crack. It was a work of art. A divine piece that’s quite impressive and distinctive.

Now for the Resort 2015 Collection, the Wednesday Boston comes in a small size, it has been beautifully painted in pink and blue. The color is a timeless, once you got it, you can wear it in every summer. And what I adore the most is the light pink color that goes well in your white summer dress or short. You can mix it with different bright colors to create an interesting effect.

Though unavailable at the moment, we will keep you posted about its release. For those who are interested, it’s made from cow leather. It features two flat doctor bag handles and it comes with a handy adjustable shoulder strap. You get an interior pouch as a bonus and its measured 10’ x 12’ x 7’ (H x W x D).

Even before all the Target collaboration madness, 3.1 Phillip Lim was churning out some pretty covetable accessories — not a day goes by without a Pashli sighting in NYC. Now's the time to get a leg up on next season's It bag by preordering the Spring 2014 styles and shades that just walked down the designer's runway during New York Fashion Week. All are available until Oct. 1 on Moda Operandi and priced in the site's normal half-down, half-on-delivery model (which feels plenty pleasing to the pocketbook, too).

Click through to see some of the pieces currently up online, from pastel blues to the mystical Pashli backpack. Yep, it's here . . . for now.

As much as it looks like something from Saint Laurent, it isn’t. Instead, it’s the Mini Soleil Shoulder from 3.1 Phillip Lim, one of the 5 styles from the Soleil line that also includes a drawstring bucket in two sizes, a tote and of course, this shoulder that also comes in 2 sizes.

Starkly simple and minimalist to a fault, the bag’s most striking feature has got be its slinky chainlink sling that’s a nice contrast to its boxy leather body. Measuring almost 20 cm across by 15 cm, it’s available via Net-A-Porter for GBP575. Or head over to 3.1 Phillip Lim (they do ship internationally) and check it out in colours like Flesh and Frost (along with Black) which sells for USD695, and USD487 if it’s on sale, like the one in Frost.

My only concern? For those with long hair, will it get stuck in the tightly woven chainlink sling? You tell me.

I was a little surprised when I came across the 3.1 Phillip Lim Alix Circle Clutch the other day. After all, when most people think of 3.1 Phillip Lim, they think of the iconic Pashli Trapeze Bag. I was left blown away by how different the design was, and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

The 3.1 Phillip Lim Alix clutch isn’t exactly something that you would imagine coming from this designer, it’s a fresh new bag design for the Fall 2015 handbag collection that breaks away from the expected.

I must admit, it was the unusual handle that attracted me to this piece. The handle was actually inspired by a paper clip. You can’t see it very well in these pictures, but the handle is not one continuous piece. Instead, the ends actually overlap or by-pass each other at the top (much like how a paperclip bends and by-passes itself). Your hand slips through the handle so that it rests on the back of your hand while you clasp the clutch. The look is quite unique and I think it pairs nicely with the circular design. I also love the subtle zigzag trim around the perimeter and on the front. You can never go wrong with tone-on-tone details.

With more and more designer houses pushing out their own variations of the sling shoulder bag (remember Bottega Veneta’s Olimpia, or Proenza Schouler’s Courier?), here’s another contender up for your consideration. From 3.1 Phillip Lim comes thePashli Mini Messenger, a nifty little structured leather number that measures just 23.5 cm by 16.5 cm.

Sporting a front flap that opens into a rather roomy interior complete with a zip pocket located towards the back of the bag, the bag also comes with an adjustable shoulder sling that will allow you to wear it at least one of two ways, long, across the body or short, over the shoulder. Priced at GBP655 and now available via Net-A-Porter, the bag’s a boon for those looking for something a tad different and not too expensive. The fact that it’s also ‘shiny’ in the golden hue of Bronze should also appeal to the Asian in us.
